St. Therese of lisieux, patroness of walking with purpose

"I, too, would like to find an elevator to lift me up to Jesus, for I am too little to climb the rough stairway of perfection...The elevator which must raise me to the heavens is Your arms, O Jesus! For that I do not need to grow; on the contrary, I must necessarily remain small, become smaller and smaller. O my God, You have surpassed what I expected, and I want to sing Your mercies."~St. Therese of Lisieux
St. Therese, pray for us! -

A Catholic Woman's Guide to Scripture
Walking with Purpose (WWP) is a Catholic Women’s Bible Study that aims to bring women to a deeper personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Using scripture and weekly small group discussions, the goal of the WWP ministry is to link everyday challenges with solutions from the teachings of Christ and the Catholic Church.
WWP is a tested approach open to women of all ages and backgrounds in our parish who want to grow in prayer and unity with God’s Word. Wherever you are in your faith journey, we hope you will join us.
How does it work?
Participation in Walking with Purpose at St. Andrew will be in a small group setting. Most of the reading is done individually using your study guide throughout the week.
We also meet during the study to gather for Connect Coffees, which consist of social time and an online presentation of related bible talks and small group discussion. All meetings will take place at St. Andrew the Apostle.LENT 2024 SESSION - JANUARY 9 to MARCH 21, 2024
(Registration to open in December 2023)The next St. Andrew the Apostle WWP study will be Beholding Your King (January 9 – March 21, 2024). We live in a self-centered culture that all too often leaves us feeling empty and dissatisfied. A fuller view of God and His glory is the perfect antidote, which you will experience in Beholding Your King. We’ll study King David, select psalms, the temple, and many Old Testament prophets and see the ways in which they all point to the coming King of Kings, Jesus Christ.
During this nine-week Bible study we will contemplate and discuss:
- Prophecies about Jesus in the Old Testament, and their effect on people past and present
- Psalm 23, the most familiar of all the Psalms which has comforted people throughout the centuries
-
God’s steady purpose in both the Old and New Covenants, and the promises He kept to all of us
